The 8.2 BOINC client will be released soon and will have support for the Docker apps. The 8.2 installers won't include Podman but it is hoped that this will be done for 9.0. In the meanwhile, here is the upstream documentation for installing Podman.

Feedback on improvements are welcome.

It's an old bug on the server.
Set "Maximale Anzahl CPUs" to 2 and you'll get 4 (2x2) or no limit to get more.

Where is the download-link for Boinc 8.1.0 in Github for Win11pro?

found win_client.7z, but copy to overwrite is not possible.
